What you think was the most useful or most important part of last week's lessons.

​Now

• ​Sampling Distributions

• ​Standard Error

• Null and Alternative Hypotheses

• ​Type I and II errors

• ​Critical Values & Rejection Regions

• ​P-values

Multiple Choice

$$H_0:$$  The person is not guilty

$$H_A:$$ The person is guilty

Which of these  is a type I error?

• Convicted guilty and is guilty

• Convicted guilty but is innocent

• Not convicted but is guilty

• Not convicted and is innocent

Multiple Choice

We estimate a sample mean of $$\overline{x}=16.25$$   with $$n=100$$   observations. We know that the variable is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 3. Can we reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 7 with a 5% rejection region? (two-sided)

• Yes

• No

Multiple Choice

We calculate $$Z\ =\ 2.77$$  . Find the p-value (one-sided). Can we reject the null hypothesis with a 5% rejection region?

• Yes

• No
